Engineers Turn Lobster Shells Into Robot Parts That Lift, Grip and Swim
Engineers have transformed discarded crustacean shells into functional biohybrid robots by softening the shell segments, adding elastomers, and attaching motors. These recycled structures can lift weight, grasp delicate items, and even propel small swimmers. The project demonstrates how food waste can become a sustainable robotics resource, though ...

'Cyborg' Robot Built With Sea Slug Muscle, 3D Printed Parts
Scientists have built "biohybrid" robots by combining tissues from a sea slug with flexible 3D printed components, an advance that could lead to swarms of cyborgs that can detect toxic leaks in a pond or search the ocean floor for a black box flight data recorder.
